If reports are to be believed, Imran Khan and Avantika Malik's marriage have hit a rough patch.

Imran Khan and Avantika Malik's marriage appears to have hit a rough patch. The couple, who had married back in 2011, seem to have taken a break from each other, if reports are to be believed.

An insider source told DNA, "Avantika allegedly left 24, Pali Hill, Imran’s residence, a while ago with Imara (daughter) It is being said that she is currently staying with her family." The report says that families and friends are trying to see how things can be worked out between the couple.

The couple had dated for eight years before tying the knot in 2011. Their daughter Imara was born in 2014.

In one of his older interviews Imran had spoken at length about Imara. "Until you have kids of your own you cannot possibly begin to understand it but it is the purest form of joy that there is. Your child laughing, smiling, looking at you is without question the purest and sweetest form of joy and happiness that exists," he said.

Imran Khan is Aamir Khan's nephew and he was launched in the 2008 film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, opposite Genelia D'Souza.

However, though the film was a hit, Imran found it difficult to make a mark in Bollywood. He has acted in films like Kidnap, I Hate Luv Storys, Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, Delhi Belly and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. His last film Katti Batti with Kangana Ranaut bombed at the box office.
